Process one
First I will need my bucket full of 'slip
This is the technical term for liquid clay.
We need to give it a stir, to remove any lumps.
We are now ready to pour the slip into the prepared mold
Now we leave it for for a little while,
about the time it is to have a cup of tea, a slice of cake,
if there is one going and have a lovely chat with friends at the Ceramics club.
Next:
When they are firm and will pop out easily,
they are ready to make the button holes
Voila!
'Iitty Bitty' Buttons
They can be left plain or given a little detail, only imagination is the limit!
Now These little cuteies will go in the Kiln to be fired and they will then become 'Bisque' which is stage two and then they will be ready to decorate and glaze
I'll keep you posted!!
Victoria x
